[meteorite-list] I need a high quality thin section
All, I need to have a single, high quality thin section made from a piece of Sutter's Mill, with minimum material loss, and with a reasonably short turn-around time. Attempts to contact Mann (who I have heard is the best there has ever been) have failed, and I don't know who else to trust with an important research sample. I would greatly appreciate suggestions or assistance.

[meteorite-list] Campo Crystals
Hi All, I suspect that the smoothed/melted look on Campo crystals is created in a rock tumbler. After the mass has been reduced to fragments each individual should be extremely sharp; I expect they get tumbled, perhaps with ball bearings, to round off the points and sharp edges and make them safe to handle without getting "bit"!

Re: [meteorite-list] Campo crystals
Thanks Mike (and everyone else who replied) I haven't heard that before - would the explosion cause localised melting, I wonder? As you say, it is sad to think of all those Campos being blown up. Regards, Kieron -Original Message- From: Mike Bandli [mailto:fuzzf...@comcast.net] Sent: 22 November 2012 16:36 To: 'Kieron Heard'; 'Meteorite-List' Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] Campo crystals A couple years ago we spoke to a vendor from South America at Electric Park (Tucson show) who had Campos for sale. We noticed that he was selling Campos that had strange marks that looked like welding marks. He told us that they were holes that had been drilled and later refilled with Campo/welding material. The reason? He said the holes were refilled because they ran out of C4 to make Campo crystals. Apparently they used to bore a hole in the iron, fill it full of C4, bury it deep in the ground, then BOOM! Campo crystals were born. I do not recall if cryo/freezing was involved. He had at least a dozen Campos that had these welded holes. It was an interesting conversation to say the least. Kind of sad and amusing at the same time. Happy Thanksgiving all!

The usual explanation, that they are made by shattering larger pieces than have been supercooled with liquid nitrogen, does not convince me. If that were the case I would expect more geometric forms with sharp edges. However, many examples are quite rounded and look as though they have been (recently) molten. I would be grateful for any observations.
